- To dress up your dorm room, you have purchased a perfectly spherical glass fishbowl to place on the windowsill. After placing the sand, decorations, and water in the bowl of diameter 40.0 cm, you transfer a single tropical fish from a plastic bag into the bowl. As you watch the fish, your roommate comes home. He watches the fish also and notices that the apparent size of the fish changes as it swims around in the bowl. Ignore the effect of the thin glass walls of the bowl; take only the water into consideration. (Assume the index of refraction of water is 1.33 and the index of refraction of air is 1.00.)
